Sweet model. Can't wait to call in some air support from that baby.

IRL the Harrier is not much good at close air support

Obsolete imo

BetterDeadThanRed · 2007-12-17, 21:59

Well nobody asked your opinion.

The Eurofighter has a gun.

Learned that one the hard way with the F-4. X(

Well, if I recall correctly it does have a gun. Originally it wasn't going to, but the lump of concerete they were going to put in its place screwed up the wight distribution.

But the MOD didn't buy any ammunition for it.

Anyone know why they wouldnt put a gun/buy ammo on jets?

BetterDeadThanRed · 2007-12-18, 02:07

Because bureaucrats never learn.

Because Its the same story as in the 60s, we have 1337 hAx Missiles, we dont need a gun. Or
why bring a knife to a gun fight.
Just in case your pistol breaks.

How will the paveway system work on the harrier, will there be a spotter with a SOFLAM on the ground marking targets for the bombs to lock on?

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough. Many thanks to [R-DEV]Adriaan for the sig!
